TOPIC: Police Oversight Informational Report
AGENDA TITLE:
Informational Report Relating to Police Oversight
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Accept informational report and provide direction to staff
DISCUSSION
At the December 15, 2020 City Council meeting, staff presented an informational report
relating to police oversight. At that meeting, members of the City Council directed staff to
conduct additional research and activities as follows:
Further examine the Auditor/Monitor Model.
Further examine the Investigation-Focused model.
Explore police oversight mechanisms from the cities of Berkeley, Riverside,
Oakland, and Anaheim.
Explore costs associated with police oversight, including expenditures relating to
the use of subpoena.
Explore the make-up of board/commission/committee/groups with regard to the
eligibility criteria, appointments procedure, term limits, and scope of work.
In the sections below, this report provides information in response to each of those topics.
Introduction to Police Oversight
Police oversight (also referred to as “civilian oversight”) is a form of oversight of police
officer conduct, whose purpose is to improve police performance and accountability.
Police oversight mechanisms typically serve as a source of external oversight over police
agencies. Police oversight mechanisms in the United States operate in a variety of
political and socioeconomic environments and exhibit variation in terms of their formal
authority, level of professionalization, staffing, budgetary authority, and style of oversight.
They are often created through local government ordinance or an amendment to the local
government charter.

Auditor / Monitor Model
The Auditor / Monitor Model focuses on examining broad patterns in complaint
investigations including patterns in the quality of investigations, findings and discipline
rendered. In some cities that use this model, auditors/monitors may actively participate in
or monitor open internal investigations. This model often seeks to promote broad
organizational change by conducting systematic reviews of police policies, practices or
training, and making recommendations for improvement. An example of a city that
deploys the Auditor / Monitor Model for police oversight is the City of Anaheim:
City of Anaheim, CA
City: Anaheim, CA
Police Oversight Mechanism Name: Police Review Board
Responsibilities:
o Receive real-time notification of and access to the locations of officer-involved
shootings.

Lieutenant), lend their assistance to the Police Review Board.
Annual Operating Budget: $125,000
Investigation-Focused Model
The Investigation-Focused Model involves routine, independent investigations of
complaints against police officers, which may replace or duplicate police internal affairs
processes, staffed by non-police civilian investigators. An example of cities that deploy
the Investigation-Focused Model for police oversight are the Cities of Berkeley, Oakland,
and Riverside:

Additional Considerations
Below are some considerations for establishing a police oversight board or commission:
Establish a planning or advisory committee or group. Begin to meet regularly to
educate the group on the pros and cons of various oversight models, legal
requirements, collective bargaining limitations, or other issues. The planning group
should include a perspective from law enforcement.
Identify the proposed police oversight board/commission’s objectives and scope.
Based upon the agreed objectives and scope, select an agency structure.
Identify staffing needs.
Develop a specific and detailed budget estimate.
Prepare an ordinance to establish the police oversight board or commission.
Appropriate monies to fund the police oversight board or commission.
OPTIONS
The City Council has the following options to consider relating to this matter:
1. Direct staff to prepare an ordinance establishing a police oversight board or
commission.
2. At the discretion of the Mayor, appoint an ad-hoc committee to develop the specific
characteristics of the police oversight mechanism.
3. Direct staff to return with additional information, including a perspective from law
enforcement.
4. Take no action.

As many dedicated people as possible. It will be
stronger in numbers ‐ the police have too much
power and support on their end already. We need
to bolster this up as much as we can and utilize
any and all available persons. More eyes ‐ more
oversight. Make the PD realize the city watches
them back.

members, for example the committee should have at least 1
person with personal experience dealing with law enforcement
but not in an official capacity. It could be a family member of
someone who has a criminal history or a person who works in a
community organizations that provides services to ex‐convicts,
etc. Also, I think that 1 position could be open for a non resident
of the city but who has clear investment in the community. I
don't mean $ investment necessarily rather someone who is for
example a teacher in a city of Santa Ana school or who works at
KidWorks or Boys and Girls Club. I think a mix of people is most
important. I want a couple of college educated people there but
I'd also want to seen member who has a HS diploma and lived
experience/training.

Police oversight is crucial in light of the current climate and their established history of
violence against minorities. Police need to be held accountable to the people they serve.
It should not happen.
DEFUND THE POLICE
If someone is going to be evaluating an individuals job performance, they should have a
complete understanding of what the job entails. Especially if they have the power to end
that individuals career and livelihood.
I oppose this because it will be a waste of resources. It will most likely turn into another
useless political platform that will not decrease crime in our city or solve the real
problems like transient disturbances or poverty.
Adding a Civilian would jeopardize the integrity of our police dept. and officer safety!
with how our society is viewing and against all law enforcement we need to protect our
city officers! their service and their dedication to our city is what we need to value and
protect!
The City of Santa Ana needs to hold police officers accountable.
Police oversight is long overdue
Ideally the chief of police would be enough oversight, to ensure officers follow protocol
and handle matters appropriately, and without violence if at all possible. But it's clear
that this is not the case as we have seen across the country. Therefore, I am in favor of
independent and unaffiliated oversight.
We need to do something about the out of control police budget
The police oversight committee is past due
Police should not police themselves and need civilian oversite.
The persistent lack of accountability for police brutality in this country makes the city of
Santa Ana unsafe. A citizen oversight committee is very much needed to restore the
community trust.
Appreciate the survey and thanks you officers for your hard work
The city need to get with the times and provide police oversight. It will save taxpayers
money in costly lawsuits and is morally right.
Please add any comments below regarding your thoughts on police oversight.
It's about time there was police oversight. I applied for a position with this pd and they
put me under a permanent 24 hr surveillance which is a waste of taxpayers money. I
have filed numerous complaints and the Santa Ana PD never does anything about this.
This PD has employees stationed in my neighborhood and I live miles away from the city
of Santa Ana. They use the pretext of doing background checks when in reality they are
wasting taxpayers money, violating my rights and my neighbors rights to be free of
unlawful harassment, intimidating innocent people, and violating HIPAA rules. It is
apparent some of the Santa Ana PD employees enjoy sitting all day behind surveillance
equipment wasting taxpayers money. It's time santa ana pd stopped playing around
with high tech surveillance equipment and dedicated themselves to doing their job
which is what is expected and what they're paid for. Santa Ana PD has not been called or
even needed in my neighborhood. I am an advocate of police oversight to ensure
corrupt employees are removed from their positions and replaced with employees who
are actually willing to do their job. Some of the employees involved in this wasteful
surveillance include Irma Vasquez, Lorenzo Carrillo, Eric Demopoulos, Marlene, Tina, a
woman named Elizabeth, and a man named Scott.
For the survey, perhaps further expand on the definition of the proposed community
oversight. Additionally, a civilian police oversight team SHOULD work with local activist
organizations. Consider a police oversight department a possibility ALONGSIDE police
defunding and reallocating of resources to other public sectors including parks and
recreation, arts, and education
Do not defund the police
This would have to be an independent department (not influenced by the PD or City
Council).
We oppose this and believe in our police department’s ability to carry out their duties
with honor and therefor would not need to be micromanaged by such a committee.
I believe that it is needed and welcomed by Santa Ana residents.
It's a bad idea abandon the whole idea
I think oversight is only as good as the knowledge, understanding of laws and rights, and
the intentions of those serving. Working in law enforcement, one should expect to be
held accountable for one's actions. However, being used as a scapegoat for political
purposes or crucified because of people's ignorance serves no good purpose. The law
enforcement profession will find it hard to recruit quality applicants if they fear they may
be the sacrificial lamb every time a cop somewhere in the nation screws up..
Any oversight should not be to scrutinize police or degrade them, that should be held in
utmost awareness.
Given the state of policing across the entire U.S., I believe it's incredibly important to
have citizen oversight that includes all the powers necessary to ensure police officers are
kept accountable for their actions. This is also important to counter the power that
police unions often abuse to protect officers from consequences.
Please add any comments below regarding your thoughts on police oversight.
Any Police oversight body should be well trained and educated on the subject matter
they will review. Members should be fair, objective and free of biases and prejudice.
Members should be Santa Ana stakeholders and residents, selected by the chief of
police and approved by the city manager.
There should also be a city policy in place to ensure the review process is fair, objective
and consistent with the law and industry best practice.
I think establishing such a committee would be a great benefit for those who have had
bad experiences with law enforcement, having neutral parties investigating makes law
enforcement accountable for their actions. I would be interested in such a committee.
This is something that should have existed a long time ago
Short of defunding, an oversight committee feels like the least we can do as a city to
ensure that Santa Ana PD has at least some checks in place against corruption,
complacency, overspending, and violence toward citizens.
I think this should be taken seriously and the commission members MUST have the time
available to put into doing a good job. It needs to be full time (at least to start) and there
should be a good amount of training (recommended by SAPD) before any decisions are
made. There should be lawyers available for consultation but NOT serving on the
commission. All members should be residents of Santa Ana. The commission should be
allowed to evolve with respects to what its oversight powers should be. Get the
commission established and then let the committee make recommendations to the
council (for final decision) as to what is needed once they have a grasp of what is
required of them. It would be great if they could all be volunteers, just to be able to save
some money for the city and to know that those on the committee are doing it out
concern that it's done properly and not for financial reasons.
Don't believe oversite necessary ‐ ‐ they are doing fine just the way they are.
Community leaders must have their voices heard, it cannot be ex officers as the
community will perceive them as biased. This is also the case for relatives of officers.
It cannot be exclusive to those with degrees as the average Santa Ana resident did not
attend grad school much less hold a PHD.
This ought to be representative of the population, therefore using the latest census data,
use the percentage of each ethnicity but don't neglect the LGTBQ+ community as they
also ought to have representation.
That is if the actual intent is to succeed with fair oversight of the people of the city.
I would rather have a community liaison committee THAN AN OVERSIGHT COMITTE
NO POLICE ON THE OVERSIGHT BOARD!

This is a step in the right direction. Thank you for all efforts that increase the value of life
for those that live, study, pray, work, visit our beautiful City of Santa Ana.
The city of Santa Ana needs to defund the police. Also, the oversight commission will
definitely solve the distrust between the community and law enforcement—you have
to get to the root of the issue: law enforcement has failed to protect Santa Ana residents
and abuse their power.
Please take this into serious consideration. It is time to have full transparency over the
police dept.
I understand law enforcement and support it. I don't support the defunding movement.
But I also understand that with all the recent happenings and changes, people need to
see that they are being heard. So a Police Oversight would be a right step towards that
direction. Thank you for the opportunity to answer your questionnaire.
We must have a police oversight committee
it can be a positive for the city and it’s residents
Certainly this is a great idea to make readjustments to our police force.
I believe anyone that is on the committee should not have had any negative interactions
with law enforcement, nor have had family or relatives having negative interactions.
They should be able to look at evidence from both civilians and officers before deciding
whether to forward the complaints to a professional board who can suggest whether to
proceed with the complaint or not.
Necessary and long overdue.
An oversight committee has been long over due in the city Santa Ana
This needs to happen NOW, not tomorrow
The sooner and more robustly this is brought into existence, the better.
I tried to add STRONGLY AGREE AND IT WOULDN'T LET ME ON ONE OF THE Questions.
Police officers need to her help accountable for their deadly and abusive actions. Make
sure all records of incidents are public, make sure any leave that is in regards to abuse is
not paid leave. Stop all benefits and pay until a full investigation is conducted by an
outside party. Stop police brutality cover up. If officers don’t stop other officers from
abuse in their presence they need to be held accountable as well. Stop The POLICE
BRUTALITY NOW!
An oversight board can be a valuable tool that helps both the police and the residents
they serve. It is important that such a board be fair to both sides by being diverse,
patient, and open to discussion and dialogue. I think issues should extend beyond
whether an officer did something right or wrong to what the underlying policies and
training motivated such decisions. The board should have penal authority but should be
viewed as a collaborative effort in order to increase cooperation among stakeholders.
Let’s make the city of Santa Ana fair and great again.
This should not even be controversial. This should be the standard. An agency us not
ethically capable of investigating itself ‐ inherent conflict of interest that cannot ever be
overcome. Thurd party/independent oversight is a no‐brainer necessity for every law
enforcement office in the country.
Please add any comments below regarding your thoughts on police oversight.
It's long overdue. I've observed police dealing with the public many times, in the course
of my own profession. I believe that they need further training in how to deal with
people with dignity and respect while still upholding the law and protecting the public
from potential bad actors. But if they just want to treat everyone like criminals from the
get go then they need to be rotated to another dept or field so they can get the break
from the streets they need or get some mental health assistance. Also, we must
acknowledge that police aren't the most suited for many of the situations that they are
currently expected to respond to. We need social workers, mental health specialists
people with crisis, problem solving and mediation skills who can respond to situations
that are not criminal or violent in nature.
As a Santa Ana resident I feel this is strongly needed in our neighborhoods. I grew up in
Santa Ana and came back to live here after I got married but my parents have lived here
for over 40 years. I feel that we need a lot more police presence including police
involvement with the community. In our neighborhood I constantly here cars speeding
by and racing. The neighborhoods are poorly lit and we hardly ever see a patrol pass by
to keep an eye on the neighborhood. We really need to crack down on cars that speed
through the neighborhood because there are families with small kids playing outside. We
also need more vigilance to decrease the graffiti and crime.
The police should work for the city and our elected officials should properly oversee.
Engaging the community is fine, but they should not administer discipline
We would be foolish to not understand the necessity of oversight on an institution that
has horrible ties to issues such as discrimination and brutality against its citizens.
Great idea to have the community participate to review and improve police officer
conduct
The City of Santa Ana should definitely create a police oversight committee to create
accountability for the department and improve community relations.
I believe it would do great help to the city!
The city needs to create a oversight committee to allow community feedback and
involvement.
The first issue is creating a commission that isn't compromised by the police. In other
countries, a different law enforcement agency must investigate. So, perhaps current or
ex‐FBI might be allowed on the commission. Certainly not just another local body with
the same biases as the police they are overseeing. I would cast a broad net to see how
this is done outside the US for instance. There's no reason we have to re‐invent the
wheel. Also, what role, if any, should Internal Affairs be involved? I think the concept of a
registry, similar to sex offenders should be considered. Officers are given equipment to
protect society, if misused, that is the highest level of betrayal and should be treated as
such.
Please add any comments below regarding your thoughts on police oversight.
There are many people in Santa ana that are being threatened, vandalized, robbed, are
living next door to drug dealers and gangs. And they can't get justice because some of
the people that are victimizing them have friends and family working in the SAPD, not
just as officers but as dispatchers and non sworn employees. I think all sworn and non
sworn employees should be a part of this. Police department employees are getting
away with drug dealing, harassment both physical and sexual, vandalism, street racing
(my neighbors have friends in dispatch that help out the street racers) and witness
intimidation. Nothing is being done about it.
A police oversight committee should be established in order to keep the Santa Ana Police
Department accountable. As a Santa Resident establishing this committee will bring back
trust within the community and how law enforcement is seen.
Especially head out the youth on this problem. The city overlooks them always and it
affects them more than anyone else.
Fund the police we don't need more criminals we need police. If an officer get out of
control get rid of them. We don't need anti police residentsvwoth no skin in the game
bossing our officers to meet there woke wants.
I would also recommend that a summary of each meeting being held be provided to the
public. This would help build trust and true transparency. Thank you
This will end up being a political minefield. It will cause more harm and division.
The police oversight board should be independent, investigatory, be disciplined, have
secured funding, and engage the community. The Board must be composed of
representatives from communities most affected by police practices and exclude current
and former cops or family members of cops, exclude current and former city employees.
The Board should be able to subpoena witnesses and documents, including police
disciplinary documents, video and audio footage.
We desperately need police oversight. The current situation is an extremely bloated
police budget that gets wasted in terrorizing poor people, while SAPD takes insane
amounts of time to even respond to actual violent calls. My fiance was pulled over for a
traffic stop by five cops cars in Santa Ana, so you clearly have the budget for that, but
when a drugged up neighbor tried to break down the door of my childhood home, SAPD
didn't show for 45 minutes. On top of that, dispatch refused to believe my fiance, telling
him he "deserved" whatever anger the guy was throwing at him, and making up some
weird narrative about my fiance probably knowing this guy, etc. We never met the guy
before this. SAPD showed up, didn't bother making a report, and we moved shortly after.
Your department is a disgrace. We know better than to bother calling cops now. We will
continue working to defund the police department and redirect money elsewhere.
Please add any comments below regarding your thoughts on police oversight.
It's extremely necessary. We need to hold police accountable and they cannot feel like
they have all the power in our community. They should never feel comfortable. If we
cannot abolish the police right now, then police oversight is the bare minimum we can
do to ensure Santa Ana residents are safe from police violence and corruption.
Anyone on the civilian oversight body should have no police affiliation, including being
former police themselves

Thank y’all for creating this survey
Mechanism must be independently funded. Funds must be protected. Members must be
protected from any and all retaliatory action. Members must essentially act as a check to
balance, in accordance to and in the interest of the Santa Ana residents.
Police oversight should be a neutral agency that reviews unjust use of police force and
over interpretation of the law to criminalize unknowing people. The ultimate goal would
be to hold the police accountable when they overbreach their power. The agency should
compose people highly trained in law and criminal defense.
It is vital that a police oversight board be established which is independent and is
representative of the communities most affected by policing issues. Independence and
power are NECESSARY to make this entity meaningful, beyond just surface level
performative gestures.
The people most impacted by over policing should be the ones on the oversight
committee. We have heard at council meeting of police knocking door to door helping in
some areas and harassing people in others areas.
COUNTER SURVEILLANCE is key to holding police accountable. They act right when
they’re being watched.
DEFUND THE POLICE
Members of the police oversight committee should be diverse and actually represent the
population of the residents of Santa Ana. They should also include residents in
neighborhoods who are most affected by police brutality and violence. It's important
that outiside lobby money does not affect the decision of who serves on this committee.
Police Oversight should be for the people of Santa Ana with no hidden political agenda
Please add any comments below regarding your thoughts on police oversight.
Without subpoena powers, the commission would not have the ability to hold officers
accountable. Without accountability there is no purpose for an oversight committee
other than performative “action†. Currently officers are favored in every single
“justice†system, the blue wall exists to shield officers from the system they enforce.
We need commissions with power, or the people will continue to be disillusioned,
fearful, and resentful.
I also believe there should be a form of protection offered to those on the commission to
deter retaliation.
Undocumented residents should be able to participate as well. Their experience is
unique and valuable.
I think a Police oversight committee is very important. In order to garner trust from the
community the committee must have real power which includes ability to subpoena,
discipline and fire officers. Community policing means working in the best interest of the
community and being held accountable by the community.
There should always be a checks and balances within government. The POA has too
many hands in too many pots when it should only be concerned with its department. A
productive department would focus on the issues of our city and partner with groups
that help its residents. We need to have the POA realize mental health, addictions and
homelessness is a huge part and recognize that these go hand in hand. And deal with
these in a different direction. Including the residents on solutions. There is a rise in
crime and gang activity , with a bridge between the department and residents we could
do away with it. All it takes is steps towards progress.
This is necessary‐ too many cops are getting away with things they shouldn’t !
Police oversight that is outside of police organizations is incredibly necessary. I'm glad
that the City of Santa Ana is considering creating this committee.
With the compromise of community safety, community well‐being, and community trust
currently at risk, the public oversight commission should be required to be transparent
and comply with "the Brown Act" during ALL of their meetings so more of the public
could participate through public comment, etc.
Thank you
Big mistake for the city of Santa Ana to have an oversight committee.
Any one who serves in it should have no interest ties to the police otherwise it
compromises their integrity.
we need a police oversight community that has no affiliation with the police and law
enforcement so that it is actually fair.
Please add any comments below regarding your thoughts on police oversight.
A police oversight commission is pointless without real actionable powers, but these
positions should be appointed based on recommendations by members of the legal
system, government, and experienced individuals rather than elected. I also recommend
they be nominated by these experienced individuals but that appointment ultimately
remain anonymous so that there will not be undue influence, bias, or potential for
corruption.
I'm asking for an oversight board that meets the following criteria:
1) Independence: Board members and staff must exclude current and former City,
Department, and Association employees and employees of other government entities
and must include representatives from communities most affected by police practices.
See FAQ below for talking points
2) Investigatory: The board must have the ability to subpoena witnesses and documents,
including police disciplinary documents, video and audio footage, such as that produced
by body or dash cameras, and other relevant materials.
3) Discipline: The board must have a role in officer discipline, including removal from
active duty
4) Secured Funding: The board’s funding must be sustainable, independent and
protected.
5) Community Engagement: The board must hold regular public meetings, which must
be webcast and recorded, to summarize findings and engage with community members.
The board must also develop regular public reports on their work. The board itself should
be accountable to the public.
We need a board that is independent, investigatory, and accountable to the community
directly impacted by police violence
I'd like to see an independent oversight commission with subpoena power, investigative
authority, disciplinary authority, and the ability to terminate officers that abuse their
power or demonstrate corruption
People with no formal education should NOT be excluded from being a part of this. Also,
this should be open to undocumented immigrants and people with criminal records.
This important oversight committee must not be a rubber stamp in anyway.
Should stop the nightly illegal fireworks nightly in or at the river bed by godzil high school

inclusion of english, spanish, and vietnamese language/community representation, so as
to proportionately represent the community we live in and that the safety officer police.
Strongly believe it must be someone who has experience in the day to day task of a
police officer. How else would they know what the job entitles first hand
Please add any comments below regarding your thoughts on police oversight.
It is time that SAPD implements and independent police review board. One made up of
city residents and experts on police oversight. The key is the independence. Cases cannot
be reviewed solely internally.
A police oversight committee only works if the committee has authority to enforce laws,
discipline officers including termination, and subpoena records. All of this should be
completely transparent to the public. Additionally, the cost of the committee should be
covered under the already existing police budget. The police department should not get
additional funding for this but should pay for it using its already exorbitant funds.
This is a stupid idea that will only turn our city into the likes of Los Angels, Chicago,
Detroit, etc.
We need this in order to have trust in our officials and no unions getting involved to
protect cops
There must be regular community meetings that the public can attend. There must be
power in the board to discipline and terminate officers. We desperately need a
committee that is representative of Santa Ana and it’s most policed communities.
The oversite commission needs to be a permanent budgeted item. It would be good to
have people on it that have been effected by law enforcement or have filed a complaint.
I think creating this type of accountability for law enforcement will benefit all who
experienced the ugliness from law enforcement when they have abused their authority
of power. I believe the selection of this committee should be local members of the
community such as our residence to make this committee work thoroughly, no
politicians, law enforcement, no city council just the residents of Santa Ana. Let’s put
an end to the cycle of abuse from our own police officers, with accountability for their
actions, so we as Santaneros, Santaneras can no longer fear the police but instead work
with them as a community.
Thank you for this initiative. It's long overdue. I've seen it work well in other cities. It can
rebuild confidence in the police force and save taxpayer money paid out in law suits.
Santa Ana police need independent oversight.
The board should be elected.
Be fair not corrupt as your history has shown.
This is an over reaction by community members to instances occurring in a number of
other cities. SA has zero history of racism, aggressive enforcement etc. So why do we
need this? That is what we have a cheif, city manager for.......another layer of
bureacracy and more taxpayer money down the drain.
it is sad that i can not use my name because of retaliation. this is the reason why the city
must create and support said oversight
must be a santa ana resident
I’m so glad Santa Ana is doing this! It is very needed and I want to ensure that this
group does not have police influence, pressure, or infiltration through money or politics.
Please be sure to give the committee oversight, power, and independence from and over
police leadership.
Police Oversight is the City Council's job. They are looking for an out. Don't do it.

The prerequisite to serving on oversight committee should allow for citizens who have
lived in Santa Ana for 10+years, and should NOT be dictated by education level,
registered voter, experience/training or criminal background. These criteria are
exclusionary/elitist, especially since many of our residence do not have college education
or may be undocumented and thus are not registered to vote. The only criteria should be
if they are a permanent resident and have lived in the area for a substantial length of
time. We need to capture the true demographics and voice of the people of this
community and these exclusionary prerequisites are hindering us from doing so.
Report of results
Need to be able to fight against PD union and internal cover ups
Irvine needs this as well maybe we can cover for them
Residents of every neighborhood should be encouraged to consider serving. Some
educational/training opportunity covering basic existing police policies and legal issues
relative to police performance should be available to prepare candidates to serve
competently.
This is desperately needed in the City, the liability is too high and the $24M is only
financial and doesn't factor in the long term damage to the affected parties. PD also
needs to be removed from City politics.
On scale 1 to 10 where 10 is better an 1is worst, give 3 to the SAPD
Police abuse their power ie from speeding, running red lights, turning on their overhead
lights to speed and avoid traffic just to turn them off and drive into restaurants to
stopping vehicles without cause.
Police oversight is crucial to curb attacks on the residents the police claim to protect.
There is a reason many residents live in fear of the police. Police are not above the
people nor above the law. There needs to be consequences when the public trust is
betrayed.
I think this is a great idea. More cities should have a civilian oversight committee to
review actions by the local police. A police badge should be respected, not only by the
populace but also by the individuals who wear it.
Independent oversight of law enforcement is necessary to ensure that law enforcement
remains true to its purpose, but the power of the police unions, and funding that it can
command makes it impossible for elected officials to carry out this, as demonstrated by
the recent recall election I don't know we're in a Critic of the Santa Ana Police was
removed from office, in large part due to significant funding from law enforcement
groups
Police oversight and accountability is desperately needed.
We need this
Like typical America hating liberals, you all have us Santa Ana residents vulnerable to
criminals by handcuffing our police. If you want the residents of Santa Ana to be safe, let
our police do their job properly. Enough with the police shaming and making an
impossible job even harder. Find a life you fools.
somewhat of jury style review
We need police oversight , we have to make sure there’s accountability like in any
other job .

If this oversight committee is established, then the city council should have one
established to oversee themselves. The police have the toughest job and are always
criticized no matter what they do. The very few who feel that they were not treated
correctly more than likely put themselves in the predicament. Fund the police more and
hire more officers.
Policies of Transparency, for both the police and police oversight committee will make
things easier for everyone.
This is a waste of money. Focus on catching criminals, not hamstringing our police.
This must be an advisory role only. No authority over terminations or discipline outside
of making recommendations. Only one year terms. This avoids potential corruption and
entrenchment, giving other citizens the opportunity to participate, and providing a
contemporary sample of the various views held by the taxpaying and vested citizens of
our city.
Think this Oversight committee is a good idea. Some police officers are too strong in
language, and really don’t care what a city resident has to say, other officers are kind
and willing to listen to what a complaint might be. Big disconnect here between some
responding officers attitude and resident needs for corrective action. My experience has
been ‐ some SAPD officers want to address criminal behavior not quality of life
issues.This city needs officers who will address both. Thank you.
Oversight committee should be a combination of law enforcement, civilians and possibly
a criminal lawyer. Civilians would not have enough experience to be effective Oversight
committees.
Police does not respond when called
I believe police oversight is needed and the individuals who serve in this committee
should have the ability to separate personal biases. This committee should not be used
to retaliate against law enforcement, but one that collaborates and works along
residents and law enforcement. In addition it should be used to find gaps within LEAs.
Gaps referring to legitimate needs of residents not preferences.
Should include how sapd receives and spends funds
A civilian should not have or partake in any oversight on police matters. We need to
protect the integrity safety out Police Department and officers!!
We want real accountability with real consequences for breaking laws and protocol
Again. Please do not waste tax payer money on this. Concemtrate on fixing the streets.

I attended a patriotic rally in Santa Ana that turned violent when thugs, who brandished
brass knuckles, attacked the peaceful rally attendees. The attendees included women
and children. The Santa Ana Police Department conducted itself with professionalism. It
promptly ended the violence that was orchestrated by the perpetrators and ensured that
all attendees were able to safely leave the event by escorting them to theirs cars.
Outstanding officers! An oversight committee would only serve to debilitate the
SAPD’s efforts to keep the Santa Ana community safe. A committee would also be a
waste of taxpayer dollars. Stop impeding the city’s law enforcement capabilities with
anti‐police rhetoric. This “oversight†seems to be agenda‐driven to demoralize the
SAPD, rather than to protect the community. Thank you.
There should be an oversight made up of Santa Ana residents with no influences by city
council or law enforcement.
We need Police oversight asap. We need results and accountability
Working with several law enforcement agencies across the State, including most of all
OC local law enforcement, I have encountered SAPD to be one of the most kind, caring,
professional and understanding forces. SAPD does not have the same issues as other
Local PDs around the country. We need to support both community and SAPD and focus
on collaboration. I want to continue to be comfortable to call PD when I see a crime and
also receive unexpected help from them when I am having trouble changing my car tire
or catching my dog who ran off on me. SAPD is not only LE but also part of the
community. Outside organizations have no right to manipulate the city when they
themselves have never sat down and had a genuine conversation without an ulterior
motives.
Commissions are excellent ways to waste and hide money. That being said a citizen run,
odd‐numbered, and financially conservative committee may provide a good
intermediary between public complaints and police affairs. In order for the committee to
be effective it needs powers to discipline, but should not have the power to terminate
employment. That power should be held exclusively by police and city leadership.
Should not be nominated by the Council; as elected officials are allowed to receive
campaign contributions from organizations like the POA. Which would in turn create a
bias.
We need a system of checks and balances!
The oversight committee should be completely independent with absolutely no familial
or business ties to the police
Any organization forms its own culture, which is often a good thing, but can become
insidious and in the case of police can create a sense that they have rights to do
whatever. An oversight committee or council makes it more important for them to
remember that they are here to protect the public and to keep it safe.
TELL OFFICERS TO STOP FLASHING THEIR SPOT LIGHTS AT RANDOM CARS DRIVING PAST
THEM. ALMOST CRASHED BECAUSE OF IT
Please add any comments below regarding your thoughts on police oversight.
I think community involvement is essential to police‐community relations. I am cautious
about recommending that any commission or board have any say or oversight into actual
police practices unless they have some prior exposure and a working understanding of
what the SAPD faces on a daily basis. It is easy to sit in an armchair and make
judgements. It's entirely different to be out in the community having to deal with the
very diverse community challenges we face today, and really understand what SAPD has
to deal with... and THEN make informed decisions. Any member who sits on a police
review board should have a good understanding of police practices and procedures.
Otherwise, how could they effectively know or review anything. Lastly, I would be very
cautious of listening to anyone who carries an agenda, and is pushing this police
oversight reform, regardless of their credentials. A recent news article touted a local
community member as a former Berkeley Police Review commissioner. That in and of
itself is not necessarily notable. But if one were to dive deeper into the facts of that
individual's tenure in Berkeley, a different image may appear. Listen to the people who
know, and not to fringe special interest. Best of luck.
I think a police oversight board or commission would help foster trust between the
community and the Santa Ana Police Department. It would be a great community
engagement tool for the City of Santa Ana and the police department.
Great survey! The staff that made this must be pretty good!
